On the day news broke that Josh Barnett’s appointment with the California SAC has been pushed back for a fourth time, you would have thought that he would have been with his lawyers for the meeting. Instead, he made his scheduled booking for Antonio Inoki’s IGF event in Tokyo at JCB Hall.

The next scheduled date is April 20th. At this point, Barnett will have been out of the loop for nearly a year. In essence, it’s been like a de facto suspension from fighting.
